Uh...that would be Michael Jackson and the paedophilia thing.
To: WarrenC
great article. I think what happens to these stars is that they get so full of themselves that they lose their basic grasp on reality.

I always said the best thing for Jacko's legacy would have been for him to have dropped dead after finishing Thriller.

The Beatles' "Bigger than Jesus" comes to mind, but they survived it. Jerry Lee Lewis' underage bride revelation as well.

I think what happens to these stars is that they get so full of themselves that they lose their basic grasp on reality. Yup, they really and truly come to believe that they're important.

This Dixie Chicks thing is getting very, very serious for the group...I keep hearing this. I wonder if it's true.
Maines' antics are NOTHING compared to those of Jane Fonda, yet Fonda had a remarkable career.
OTOH, country music fans are a different sort.
It may well be that the "Chicks" go mainstream pop from here on out. Brittney Spears could compare Bush to Hitler, and the popsters would keep buying her cr*p.

What on earth could Natalie Maines have been thinking, saying such an idiotic thing, given her fan base?Indeed, what could she have been thinking, period? It is a trademark among liberals to take a totally innocuous situation and use it as a platform to express their leftist views. Just look at the time and place in which George Clooney decided to make his remarks concerning Charleton Heston's Alzheimer's. These type people love being in-your-face with their views, but really love to whine when someone is in their faces with contrary views.

She OBVIOUSLY took make up lessons from TAMMY FAYE BAKER!!!

The Blixie Twits is an amazing case of career suicide. natalie never quite learned the simple marketing 101 concept: the market is consumer driven. Dumb fat bimbo!

We now have our young men going off to battle, with a willingness to sacrifice their lives for our freedom, so "little traitor Dixie chick" does not look very cute to us.

Perhaps she's the celebrity spokeswoman for Mary Kay.

There are two words that Natalie should have learned from the get-go: ALEC BALDWIN.
I think, pretty soon, we can add George Clooney to that list.

If you can explain to me why this never happened to Jane Fonda, but will happen to these folks, I'd be interested to hear.

The difference is, with Britney Spears demographic, an explanation of who Bush and Hitler are would be in order. If like, fer sure, they don't appear on the pages of Seventeen, the recognition may be lost.
